have mo a huge masculine woman, and
they do not particularly understand my
function in this case. I am merely the
instrument and the personal represen

at least ImDracticable to have them
come to Portland from all parts of thej
land. Nor am I a lawyer," she added.,

reported to preside from her place on
the Judge's bench with all the dignity
and grace that she would, were she tho

New S. P. U G. Notice to the Men
Give Your Loved Ones Christmas Money Now
Too few men even loving husbands, fathers, sons and brothers appreciate
that their wives, mothers, daughters and sisters love to shop early for Christmas, but
are too often debarred tjecause of lack of funds. Thus it is that men Spugs and all
men should be Spags are advised to give their loved ones Christmas money now. See
below for how the women of the family can profit now.
Suits & Dresses $10 $15 $25 $37
Finally Reduced Tomorrow Were to $20 Were to $25 Were to $40 Were to $60
Finally reduced prices before instead of after .Christmas not only enables the
fullest saving in dollars and cents now, hut choice of a vastly better variety of styles,
colors and sizes than later. Have one or more of these suits and dresses tried on over
"the corset that isn't." All are on third floor.
It's here; the corset that 'looks
like no corset. It'ffmade of. a
knitted material that clings to
the lines of the figure; It's boned
In the front and la the back; the
sides are flexible. It's as light
as a feather and about half as
confining; you can breathe In It,
bend In it, sit in It And more
far more It looks as though it
wasn't. -
Madame Gritton, -who is con
ducting a demonstration of the
"Bien Jolie" Grecian Treco cor
setthat's them In "Washing
ton this week, says that they
'Just had to be. American women
demanded them for .beauty and
'comfort; physicians " demanded
them for health. And. so they
were built along scientific lines,
and offered to the corset-wearing
sex. And they immediately
became so popular that the fac
tory can't make them fast
enough to meet the demand.
"They're healthful,- said Mad
ame Gritton, "because they're so
light There's no pressure on
any part of the body; they don't
crowd surplus flesh down and
make the limbs ungainly.
"They're beautiful because they
conform to the. lines of the fig
ure, creating the "natural figure.'
There's no stiffness, consequent
ly the "uncorseted effect which
is not ,a sloppy effect And
they're comfortable. No woman
can look graceful lOsbe Isn't
comfortable; American women
have come- to realize that and
that's the reason why they hart
demanded ease. Tou can. sit in
these as easily as you can stand.
They're not only for the society
woman, but .for the business
woman -who docs 'hard work.
The price puts them within the
reach of all from 3 to 50."
Madame. Gritton will lecture
tomorrow, as well as demon
strate "the corset that isn't" In
third floor parlors.
